Today, we’re adding a proxy on top of the GitHub Advisory Database that speaks the npm audit protocol. This made it harder to add new features, and also created extra work since our security engineers who curate these advisories needed to make sure that each advisory was accurate in each database. This was a great first step because developers didn’t have to look in two places to see security advisories for their dependencies, but for GitHub we still had differences between the schemas in each database. By doing this, we made sure that you were seeing the same advisories for your project-whether you were scanning it with npm audit or a tool like Dependabot. Last year, we added all the npm security advisories to the GitHub Advisory Database. When npm joined GitHub, the npm advisory database became a part of our portfolio of security products, but (unfortunately) that meant that we had two databases of security advisories. The GitHub Advisory Database is a carefully curated set of more than 5,000 security vulnerabilities that powers important security tools like Dependabot.
#NODEJS GITHUB INSTALL#
In addition, the npm install command uses this information to give you a brief summary of problems. Npm audit is a command that you can run in your Node.js application to scan your project’s dependencies for known security vulnerabilities-you’ll be given a URL that you can visit to learn more, and information about what versions have fixed this vulnerability. Today, we’re taking another step in bringing all this together for both npm and GitHub by announcing that the GitHub Advisory Database now powers npm audit.
#NODEJS GITHUB SOFTWARE#
Once it's built, your site should be available at your github.io endpoint.Supply chain security is one of the most important parts of software development today, and we want to make developing securely as easy as possible for developers. Lastly, make sure in the Settings -> Pages section, you select gh-pages as the branch to host and leave the directory as / (root). The standard is build, but mine was public. The -d specifies your output build directory. You need the -global to ensure the bin file is on your PATH and -save-dev should add it as a dependency in your package.jsonĪfter that, just npm run build & gh-pages -d build. Then make sure you npm install -global gh-pages -save-dev. In the root of your package.json, add "homepage": " Where the pages-endpoint is the endpoint you specified in the Settings -> Pages portion of your repository, and repo is the name of your repository. (I'm going to assume you have a package and/or directory ready to publish.)

I would like to add that it IS very much possible, as I am doing it right now.

I have not tried this though and so cannot speak to how well it works. The docs for next.js also provides instructions for setting up with Vercel which appears to be a hosting service for node.js apps similar to github pages.

Run: echo "::set-output name=dir::$(yarn cache dir)"
#NODEJS GITHUB FULL#
Here is my full github action: name: github pages

I based my workflow off of this guide for a different react library, and had to make the following changes to get it to work for me: While not completely ideal as i'd like to avoid committing the built files, it seems like this is currently the only way to publish to github pages and should work for any frontend Node.js app (or app built with a frontend framework like React or Vue) that can be served as static files. I was able to set up github actions to automatically commit the results of a node build command ( yarn build in my case but it should work with npm too) to the gh-pages branch whenever a new commit is pushed to master.
